And they are already THE BEST OF FRIENDS. I’m serious...he didn’t want to be separated from her at the groomers...they were AMAZED when they found out they had just met. And she’s beautiful and sweet and kind...

Almost 3 years back we got the bundle of joy from you. Please find the attached pictures.
He is litter from Ben and Gypsy. We have given your contact to so many people. Wherever we take Ben people will stop and ask about him and praise him.

How are you and hope you are enjoying the Summer. The puppy is GREAT - so beautiful with a great disposition and we love him so much. We will have to send you pictures and our kids set up an instagram for him !

Question for you on feeding recommendations and how to firm up loose stool in GSD puppies. Which food is best and at almost 6 months should I still be feeding him 3 times a day?

Hi Mr. Bill, it's Amanda Kittel. I want to thank you again for my puppy
whom I love so much! I was curious about breeding him, and I was wondering
if you could give me information about it? With him being almost six
months old, I have to decide if I am going to neuter him or possibly
breed(sp) him, but I don't even know where to start the breeding process
if I were to go that route. Would you breed him, or would I have to find
someone who wants to? How long would he have to go away for in order to
breed? Is he even a good candidate for breeding purposes? If you could
please give me any information you have from you experience, I would
greatly appreciate it.

Thank You,
Amanda Kittel

Subject: This Pic is why you buy a GSD from Bill -- ROXY

This is Bill Satnick from San Diego, I hope this finds everyone relatively
healthy, we think about you guys often. I just wanted to keep you up to
date with our puppy Lessa. She is about 18 months now and is 65.4 lbs. and
is what I would call an athlete, she is very agile and is very muscular. I
have been training her on the field off leash for about one month with
other loose dogs, which I don't allow her to meet with. When we are on the
field she is under my control by using just my voice, hand signals and
body movements. Her recall is sound as it has been tested twice on the
field by my error, she returned to me with just one call from me, and she
was running full speed at this dog! I yelled Lessa, no, come! She stopped
dead in her tracks and she ran as fast as she could back to me! I was so
proud, and you guys would be too. Lessa is my service dog, she helps me
walk by stabilizing me laterally and propelling me forward, plus she picks
things up from the ground for me. She comes into most stores with me and
is comfortable with any situation! We are so happy with this dog you
guys!!! I have a very deep bond with this girl, and she has a great bond
with my family also.

For two days per week I take her with my wife and I to work and she is in
her crate with an orthopedic gel cushion with the door open, she will stay
in until I take her out, with about forty or so people standing by and
bending near her, she just sleeps and is so relaxed patients always
comment on how comfortable she is. On the other days she is either with my
wife at home or with me at home. She doesn't have any bad behaviors at
all, she is happy with her place in our pack!
I do have an important question about Lessa's diet, how many cups of the
Victor High Pro Plus food should I be giving her? She is 65.4 lbs, she is
not fat but is very muscular, she looks great with a beautiful coat! I do
train her regularly, using a ball as reward, but at home with treats,
apples, soft high protein treats also.

She runs after a ball (very aggressively) as a reward doing long distance
downs, sits, recalls, healing off leash, etc. I do this type of training
with her about 6 to 8 times per week for any where from 15 minutes rarely
but usually we go for 1/2 hour to one hour. So that is her exercise
regimen currently. We are so happy with that food you suggested, Victor's,
Her stools are beautiful, and she continues to like it Thank you guys!

Bill - in four days Mac will be five months old. He’s grown several inches
and gained at least 15 pounds. As you see, he is a beautiful dog. As
important, he is a delight - friendly, adaptable, warm, affectionate,
smart, fun and easy to train, and has just the right touch of “this is my
house and my family.”

We are so in love with him and he returns the feeling many times over.
Thanks so much for Your expertise and advice that he is exactly the
companion we were looking for.

Hello,
I purchased a male Long haired GSD from you July 7 2017 and he is doing
absolutely amazing. We are looking for a female, Long haired now and was
wondering what you have “in stock” at the moment. I'll be driving
through that part of town between march 15-18 on my way back to Abilene
from Connecticut. The father of the puppy we bought was Taifun and
the mother was Tammie, we would probably like to get a long haired female
from another litter just in case they end up breeding. You can
contact me at anytime after 11:00 am any day of the week or just reply to
this email.

It's Jay and Tiffany Condrill.
We purchased your Tim / Ina ultimate female born on 8/14/17. We wanted to
say thank you again for such a beautiful addition to our family! Luna is
her name, and she is so beautiful, so intelligent and so well-tempered.
She is growing so fast, and we so enjoy every minute! AND, by the way, the
girl from Texas loves the snow!

Working with you to find Luna a loving home was such a pleasure, as well.
You were so helpful, and knowledgable, with all of our questions.
Everything went so smoothly! Thank you for a great experience!

Hi Bill
This is my pup 5/7/15 I got from you -- I named him Onyx he's been a great
companion and has been a solid dog--no fear!
About a year ago I got attacked by a black lab and Onyx was about twenty
feet away from me and he came running and grabbed the lab by the head and
pulled him off me. Onyx released on command and just sat down next to me.
The other dog was ok just bites in the head and ears no vet needed.
He's the best all around!!
Thanks Bill

Bill and Evy
Abbey wanted to wish the both of you a very Merry Christmas and. Happy New
Year -- she is the greatest addition to our family -- I can’t thank you
enough she is the daughter we didn’t have. Have an awesome Holiday

She will be 6 months on Christmas day and has settled in here very well.
She gets out to play at the beach several times a week. She loves to sleep
in my office as I work, or on her bed in our family room, or just about
anywhere else. She loves to nose a tennis ball to us at the end of the
day, when she is a tired pup. Charley has learned basic obedience and is
learning to fine tune some of her manners.

My children and I want to thank you so very much for this amazing addition
to our family ❤️ Axel is so very smart, loving, playful, energetic and
gentle. He loves “his kids” more than anything else. He goes with us just
about everywhere. He’s truly a gorgeous big boy. He’s almost 10 months old
now. I’m thrilled to see how he grows and changes in the months and years
to come!!

Here is a picture of my Ballack long coat male, Peter, competing at the ME
USCA Championship. He took first and was given SG 1. My other Male from
Tim vom Fidelius took SG 2.
Thank you for finding me such great dogs

Bill,
We just wanted to thank you and let you how much we love our 2 GSD's we
got from you. Gretchen was born 1/31/17 and Buddy born on 3/18/17. We
receive so many compliments everywhere we go and they have excellent
temperaments, have been very easy to train. They truly are part of our
family and are very spoiled, I can't imagine not having them!! Thank you
again for all your many years of hard work and dedication to this breed of
dog. I did lots of research before making our purchase with you and can
honestly say I do not regret it we love our GSD's.
Shane and Georgianna.

We just wanted to check in with y’all. Gibbs just turned 6 last week and
is doing magnificent. He is my Service dog and is loved by everyone he
meets. He is so smart and intuitive;)
❤ He had a professional photo shoot on Galveston Island Here's

Ps remember it was my 9 year old Bailey that contacted you behind our
backs looking for a long haired shepherd. She found us Gibbs ❤

Just wanted to let you know how well Kinley is doing!!! She has come a
long way as far as her obedience and socialization! We have her in 2
different classes per week. One for her CGC certification and the other
for TDI certification. I hope to have her ready for her first dog show in
November here in San Angelo. Her favorite thing to do is go in the car!
Hope all is well with you and your family! Take care and we will keep in
touch!

Good evening. I wanted to send y'all an update from our family to yours in
regards to Belleau. She is our baby. We wanted to send y'all two pictures
that we thought were just beautiful. It is more than ok if you want to use
them on your website. She is the sweetest addition to our family. We can't
imagine what we ever did before she came into our lives. Please let us
know what you think of her.... She sleeps with us, sits in her own spot on
the couch and loves to chase dragonfly's. She is sooooo cute. I will send
the pics in the next email. Not sure how to attach. I'm electronically
challenged!!..😉

Nice to hear from you! So to give you an update, Taco got currently
certified as a TDI (Therapy Dog International) dog and I will soon start
going to nursing homes and hospitals to visit the elderly and children.
He is just a SUPERB dog with the most amazing temperament, disposition,
and intelligence! Please see some attached images and fotos!

Currently, I can't train another GS as I am so busy with Taco getting him
trained and ready for volunteer work that I do not have the time for
another AMAZING companion. When the time is right I will for sure let you
know!!! Perhaps a female!!! :)

I recently bought a puppy from you and I wanted to let you know he is
doing great! . He is everything we were looking for! Incredibly smart ;
already knows "sit" and "come" and we're working on "stay" as well as very
sweet and affectionate! We are in love!
Thanks so much!

Everything went awesome !! Your daughter is an amazing women, Jeff was
fantastic, Roko is perfect my daughter is extremely happy (=
I am very grateful to have found your company for this whole experience.
I will email you in a couple of weeks to let you guys know how he's doing.
Again Thank you for Everything You Guys do for all of us

What a wonderful time I had conversing
With you. Yes Bill pick the right shepherd for
Me 10 years ago. And believe me it gave me
All the happiness in the world. Imagine what you do for people who are in
need of a dog with the kind of temperament they are bred
With. Oonamoona is very stable and kind
Hearted to all that comes my way. And my god Evy all the compliment I get
on the street from so many people.

Check out face book kitty. Oonas picture
Is on the main page

Again thank you with all of my heart for
Bringing such a magificent shepherd into
This world.

I'm constantly checking your website, to see the puppies available for
sale since we are BEYOND obsessed with Taco! He is the BEST dog EVER! I
have told everyone in Miami about you and have given out your number
multiple times. People are in awe of him. He is outstanding!
What's going to happen with the Texas facility???😲😳 and my real question
is do you think you will have a repeat litter of Taco's mom (Eva) and
Taco's father (Tim)? If so can I know about it???
Thanks for breeding such an AMAZING high quality German Shepherd!!!

Morning Bill,

A couple of pictures as we reach the one week mark. Had the vet visit on
Monday, all is well.
Major has settled in very well, not crying in the kennel at night, seems
to understand that he " goes" outside and not in the kennel or house. Has
already barked at the weekly pool cleaning guy and totally has enjoyed the
many grandkids that have visited him.
Hope all is well with you.

Hi Bill
Yesterday Enzo arrived to Mexico and he is gorgeous.
Thank you for all you Help and patience, if there is anything I can do for
you please don’t hastate in asking.
If any time you come to Mexico city please give me a call I will love to
meet you and take you out for dinner or lunch.
I’m sure we will be in touch and this is the beginning of a long term
relationship

Hi Evy! It is so funny you wrote me, I have been thinking about you and
meaning to give you a Pax report! He is, and has always been, the coolest
puppy. I take him to coffee at this very touristy coffee house in Santa
Barbara to socialize and as a baby he would sit on my lap, then under the
table, now he is so big he has his own spot, but he has always just been
the coolest, most perfectly behaved puppy, never chewing or whining, just
friendly and happy. I have given your name to so many people because
everyone who meets Pax says "I want a dog just like that!" He turned a
year old in March, and I think he is still growing but right now weighs 88
pounds. I'll send a couple of photos but his ears were up at three months
and stayed up perfectly straight, he is very dark red with a black saddle.
I work with a trainer every week and am probably going to show him in
obedience pretty soon. He is a sweet, kind, dear creature. Pax is calm,
willing, brave, very cool, he doesn't get flustered, he is just a neat
dog, a very easy dog to live with. He likes people, has lots of friends
and is very friendly but definitely wants to be with me. I am his world
and pleasing me is his work, his life. He comes up to me and buries his
head in my lap and wags this long tail and his whole body wags with
happiness! He is totally healthy and sound, phew!, he is quite fit as he
works on my horse farm and has been trustworthy off leash since he was 5
months old. He has, from the moment he arrived, been a complete delight in
every way. Hope all is well with you-- Cynthia
- California

I hope that everything is going well with you! Klaus is doing very well,
he is very eager to learn and please, overall I'm very, very happy with
him. He is also very good with kids and every dog he meets. I have
attached a couple of photos of him and plan to send some more in the
future. He's getting very big very fast, it's really nice to watch him
grow! Thank you for your time!

Hello Evy/ Bill!
Hope you are both well, and your daughter is in better health,

Good Evening Mr. Fleischerheim,
What a blessing "Kinley" is to our family already! She is ALL that we've been looking for! Slept the entire 6 hours home!
In less than 48 hours, she has learned NOT to barge in or out of the door and sits and waits to be invited in or out! Potty training is going real well so far. We are working on not whining when alone in her kennel. She wants to be by her "sister" at all times so still going through separation.
The vet examined her and she checked out just fine. Was THE BEST DOG!
What date do I go by for the Heartguard and Nexguard?
We can't thank you enough for such an amazing dog! We will be in touch soon with more pictures! God bless.

Bill I just wanted to share Abbeys most recent pictures with the two of you -- she has really grown up into a beautiful GSD.
I can't thank you enough as she is truly a great part of our family.

Thanks Don Wybourn

Bill & Evy,

Sorry for the delay in responding after the puppy (Belleau) was received. She is very beautiful, calm and just pretty much laid back. She has made our home hers and I can tell she feels like part of the family, although she does not like the Florida heat. She is already spoiled by the A/C. My family loves her very much, thank you. .

All in all, we are extremely happy to have her as a member of our family.

Just wanted to keep you updated. I went to the vet today and the clinic ran the lab tests. The results came negative for Giardia and Coccidia, as well as any other parasites or worms.

Rex is gorgeous, so happy and playful, his right ear is half up, he already knows "come" "sit" "down" "up" commands and he learns everything so fast! I am just shocked that he didn't potty inside at all since 2 days ago! I am so happy he learned to go in the yard so fast, in a matter of only few days! I leave the food available to him all day long up until 7:00 pm then I bring him in the yard every 2 hours throughout the night until I am up around 2 or 3 in the morning and he is super good until 8 am. He is such an amazing puppy! Thank you so much once again!

Bill,
I just want to let you know, last month, Isabella won first place in the Novice Group. The first week in May she will be competing in the Good Citizen class. She is growing fast and training easily! Helen Gleason says, "She is extremely smart."

Just thought I would share a few pictures taken of me and my Fabulous GSD today at our Church's annual Easter Egg Hunt. As you can see he is absolutely gorgeous and very eager to help all of the kids find the hidden eggs, he was very well mannered and all of the kids and adults loved on him.
I can not list all of the complements he was given, but the main one that sticks out is his temperament, nothing and I mean nothing bothered him at all and you just don't see that out of 10 month old puppy. People were everywhere and doing all sorts of things during and after the hunt but he stayed true all day long.
You know I have owned or had at least 20-30 GSD and they were and are special in there own way.
The only thing I can say is that your breeding program has proven once again just how special your dogs are, so again I thank you for my "new best friend" and for the ones to come.

Sincerely

I am happy to report Koa is a fabulous young fella. The trainer Teri did an amazing job in 3 weeks. He showed up at our house trained, calm around the small kids, and never jumping up on anyone or anything. He walks beautifully by our side at the speed we walk on the left, sits immediately when we stop, and stops (mostly) at every door opening and every curb. He sits, heels, stays and comes remarkably well for a 5 month old bundle of energy, and he sleeps without a peep in his crate from 10 AM(sp - PM) to 7 AM. I highly recommend Teri for any other NorCal puppys!! He is so beautiful everyone who sees him stares at him, and his disposition is really pleasant while he is already a great watch dog. All-in-all an A plus pup!!

Let us know if you are ever able to see us in SF we are near Coit Tower on the Alcatraz side.

Hi Bill and Evy
Just wanted to give you an update on Nero -- he got very big -- he turned 1 on January 16th -- he's about 85- 90 pounds now and still getting bigger. He still, like always, is an amazing dog, he got even smarter and is very protective of the family and we wanted to again thank you for this amazing German Shepherd!

Bill,
I love my very special Fleischerheim GSD and I have nothing but high praise for the ones that you have let me purchase from you.
I was thinking of an older trained male that would help train me and one that would blow the minds of those at my new club, they're more working line people.
I still believe that my Ballack male will be a great dog , he has a very strong drive and loves to work, and my Tim male is absolutely the best dog I have ever had, he is so sweet and smart.
You have been a great help to me over the years and if you think that's the best way for me to go then I look forward to finding another one to help me.

Thank you, I received them today. I have attached a photo of Cain and Asa taken over the weekend. I am so blessed to have them both. I love them so much! I still think about you and your daughter and I pray every week that things have improved.
Best,

Wanted to give you and update on how Hans is doing! I can't believe how fast he is growing! He is an incredibly beautiful and smart dog! Thank you so much for raising such amazing shepherds and for Hans

The puppy we purchased is doing great, he is very smart and very active, never meets a stranger.
He is 26 ½ pounds, as you know he was born on 9-27-2016. We are extremely happy with him, we named him Rowdy.
He is a perfect fit.

We purchased Selene from you several months ago. Our little Selene gets so many compliments everywhere she goes. My granddaughter, Caitlin, just loves her to death and is so proud of her. She works with her nearly every day and comments how smart and eagar to learn she is. She picks up so quickly what you are teaching her to do. We are so happy with her. Of course Haanz is also something else -- he also gets so many comments, and is a very loving dog, and so extremely active and so powerful.

You guys did Wahr a good turn bringing him up here... He is a legend already in these parts for his protective trait. And purely instinctual! Ain't this boy handsome..... Two of my Sheriff friends want puppies.

Hi Bill and Evy just sending you some new pictures of my dog Nero he will be 9 months on the 19th of October and I have to say he is getting very big, very fast -- he is super smart and loves the family very much and we thank you for this amazing dog.

Thank you! Then name should be: Lisa Drewry and Raymond Gonzales. I kept my maiden name! Thank you again! She is already sitting and down on command. Love her! Let me know if there is anything else we need to do! You guys breed amazing dogs!

Thank you so much for our beautiful little girl! She arrived last night and got a late bath! She played for an hour and slept all night! Our male ten year old Shepard we purchased from you as well loves her! She is a delight and incredibly gorgeous! How do we register her? My husband would like to show her! Thank you again for yet another stupendous Shepard! We love her!

Almost 13 years ago we were blessed with the most amazing German shepherd puppy from you. We named her Molly Malone Von Fleischerheim Fay and called her that often. Sadly today Molly has left us but not without the best memories of her life with us filled with so much happiness. She was such a pack animal. Anywhere my kids were she went. From sleigh riding to bike riding to swimming in the bay. She even has her own Instagram account - mollyfay30 I thank you what you do. We have treasured and will continue to treasure our time with Molly. My husband just reminded me to let you know that even at the age of 13, Molly never had any hip issues. She was truly still running around like a puppy (just a little slower). I forgot to mention what a gentle, sweet dog Molly was. My son could put an oven mitt on and mess around with her as if she was in training for K-9 and in a split second she could switch to playing with a toddler. She was incredibly smart. It was like having a pre-schooler around when you need to spell the words you can't say out loud because she knew what you were talking about which is the funniest thing. Anyway, I could go on all day with how great she was but I won't. I encourage you to check out her Instagram account that I mentioned in my previous email. I think you will get a good understanding of her personality.

I wanted to share how happy I am with “Cain” the male [Tim-Remy Select Male puppy] I purchased from you at the end of June. He has been very loving and hilarious. He is turning into such a good dog, Love him! I see that you have an Ultimate Supreme Long Coat Male at a special low price, what is that price? I am pondering getting a friend for Cain.

I hope you and your lovely wife are doing well.
Here is a picture of the puppies, just as I promised. Frau is on the left, Frimunt on the right. It was taken at the training facility they attend. They are doing wonderfully! Everyone always compliments their handsome looks and good breeding. I am very pleased!

Teal'c (The Tim-Enna Exceptional Male we purchased from you 2 months ago) is doing remarkably well for being just over 4 months old. He is well behaved and responsive, much more so that many of the puppies and adult dogs he encounters. No health issues of any kind to report. We are very happy to have him as a member of our family.

If you ever need a positive reference as to the quality of GSD you provide, please feel free to let me know and I can write up something you can use.

Just wanted to share a picture of Jackson (just after climbing out of the water). He’s 5 months now and about 52 lbs. He’s absolutely amazing in every way. There’s a very good chance we’ll be back within several months to get another one. We’ve been talking a lot about it.

Hello Bill!
We are loving our boy Cain! He is 11 weeks old now and weighs 19 pounds! He (sometimes) listens to come and sit, he is getting smarter every day! His favorite things to do are sleep, and carry sticks to the front door! What a perfect and crazy little pup he is!!
Thank you so much,

Hi Bill and Evy
We thought you would like to see how Charlize (Charlie) is doing. This is her 11 week photo. She is not only impressive, but we love her temperament. She already is crate trained, and obeys come, sit, and down. Thank you for our second wonderful shepherd.

Hi Evy and Bill,
I just wanted to share how special this little puppy is going to be. The very day I got your e-mail my beloved Great Pyrenees, Snowman, had been diagnosed with bone cancer. I was just devastated. Snowman is not just a dog, he has been flock guardian on our farm for 11 years. He is beyond beloved, he is legendary, someone even wrote a series of children's stories about him! He has been leader, teacher, he is a big, gentle giant. I think he is why Francis was so gentle, Snowman sensed his weakness and totally took him under his wing.
When I first got your e-mail I wasn't going to get another puppy as the doctors think Snowman has maybe two months left to live, and I doubt if this will be an easy time, Tramadol or not, but then I decided this is circle of life and timing wise maybe Snowman needs to imprint some of his gentleness and strength on the little puppy. Even though new puppy won't do Snowman's work, Snowman is a flock guardian and new puppy will be a Cyn guardian, I think this new little fellow will fill Snowman's very large shoes and the very large hole in our hearts when Snowman finally passes.
Unless you have other ideas, I think I am going to name him Bruno. I don't know if you have followed the news in Los Angeles, but there was a police dog named Bruno who was shot protecting his partner a couple of years ago. He survived and has been quite a local hero, he has a park and a statue dedicated to him. He passed away a few days ago. If you haven't followed his story you should google him, he and his partner had an amazing connection, the partner had been rescued from drowning by a German Shepherd when he had been a baby, it is an incredible story. Anyway, I think I think it would be a nice tribute to name my puppy after such a hero...

This is the most wonderful puppy ever! He has the best personality, happy, so enthusiastic and eager. What has it been, two weeks since he arrived? He has grown SO much, his ears are very firmly up, he is housebroken, he sits for treats, he is the easiest, best dog I have ever seen. He is with me constantly, in his crate in public until he finishes shots, and he maintains his elegant posture and class wherever we go, whatever we do. I am completely and totally in love! He is amazingly tuned into me for a little puppy, he looks right into my eyes so intelligently and this week anyway, it will change, but right now he comes running as fast as he can when we call him.

We start puppy school in July, he has met his teacher who was blown away by him!

He is much too beautiful for the name Bruno. I have decided to call him Pax.

Thank you so, so much. He is just wonderful. If you want his name to start with a specific letter let me know and we can work Pax into the name somehow.
